ESCAPE VELOCITY

1 - @5 - it's not 'cause I necessarily don't think it's a good use of time. It's just that the image alignment is an option on the Blogsphere posting, and I just pick which one I think tends to actually get it on the screen.

Sorry for the inconvenience. I should just get around to making a FLOAT version that positions it properly, but my days are just packed.

2 - @4 No. It's because that graphic has an attribute of align=top rather than align=left. Simple markup mistake nothing else. Nathan *may* get round to fixing it, except he has better things to do with his time.

3 - There's something wrong with the rendering of this web site. When I widen the page way out the first line of text wraps way up next to the banner navigator. Here's a screen grab of it.

{ Link }

Is this site built using XPages? I'm upgrade to 8.5 soon but hope XPages will make my work easier.

Peace,

4 - I can't understand why americans use Facebook so much. I remember some years ago, it all began with a Google labs site, called Orkut. In Brazil it became so popular that it is hard to find someone under 40 that doesn't have an account.
It is very much faster and easier to use than Facebook. It is much more objective and much more social also. On the initial screen, yours and other people profiles, you have panels for your friends list, friends updates, communities list and a menu with some actions.
On facebook you have friends updates and a menu... only? where are my communities? where are my frieds? these questions are not answered immediately...

I have a facebook account. I also have many other social networks accounts, but Orkut is really the best in usability until now

5 - @2 - I signed up because I was able to connect with old school friends there. Anyone that I want to talk to professionally -- I find through LinkedIn or Bleedyellow.

Facebook is truly for people I have personal relationships with.

But that's my usage pattern. Other people have 5000 "friends" on Facebook, and I understand that pattern too.

6 - I think that these "vote" apps are severely undercounting the number of users who are accepting of the new format. Basically, the only reason that someone would go "vote" in this thing is as a form of protest.

I also don't think that they're going to change anything back. The management seems to really feel that "This Is The Future".

Personally, I think that there are a few things that they should fix, so that the new system works properly. But, there's no need for a wholesale rollback.
